<em>The correct option is</em> D.   The initial momentum of the blue and green train combined during the collision is 200 kgm/s.

<h3>Initial momentum of the blue and green train</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

Pi = m1v1 + m2v2

where;

  • m1 is mass of blue train
  • m2 is mass of green train
  • v1 is velocity of blue train
  • v2 is velocity green train
  • Pi is the initial momentum of the two trains

Pi = (50 x 4) + 30(0)

Pi = 200 kgm/s

Thus, the initial momentum of the blue and green train combined is 200 kgm/s.

Darya [45]

Gap junctions in the intercalated discs allow impulses to be spread across the heart more quickly. This is because gap junctions allow particles/signals to pass through, thus making cells with gap junctions more able to interact.

1. How does the mass of Jupiter compare to Earth?
sammy [17]

Answer:

1.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. (Image credit: NASA)

The largest planet in the solar system, the gas giant Jupiter is approximately 318 times as massive as Earth. If the mass of all of the other planets in the solar system were combined into one "super planet," Jupiter would still be two and a half times as large.

2.Rotation of Jupiter

[/caption]

Jupiter has the fastest rotation of all the planets in the Solar System, completing one rotation on its axis every 9.9 hours.

3.Jupiter, the King of the Planets, is a gas giant, which means that it's made mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, and that it doesn't have a solid surface in the way that rocky planets like Earth do. With a temperature of 130 K (-140 C, -230 F), it's so cold that it gives off most of its energy in the infrared. In fact, Jupiter gives off almost twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. It's able to do this because it has its own internal heat source, powered by the slow gravitational collapse that started when the planet first formed. Astronomers estimate that Jupiter is currently shrinking by almost 2 cm per year

Suppose that a ball is released from the window of a train that is moving with constant velocity.  The path of the ball, as obse
barxatty [35]

True, the path of the ball, as observed from the train window, will be a horizontal straight line.

An object projected from a certain height has a parabolic path when observed from a fixed point.

However, if the reference point is moving at the same velocity as the object, the path of the object's motion appears to be a straight line.

When the ball is released from the window of the train, it will move at the same constant velocity as the train, and the path of the ball's motion observed from the train window will be a straight line.

Thus, we can conclude that the given statement is true. The path of the ball, as observed from the train window, will be a horizontal straight line.

28. Which of the following correctly shows the order of highest amount of friction to the lowest amount of
Bad White [126]

Answer:

\mathrm{d.\:Static,\: Sliding,\:Rolling}

Explanation:

Static friction occurs when an object initially starts at rest. When the surfaces of the materials touch, the microscopic unevenness interlock greatest with each other, causing the most friction out of the three.

During sliding friction, an object is already moving or in motion. The microscopic surfaces still interlock, but because the object is in motion, it has a momentum. Therefore, the magnitude of sliding friction is less than that of static friction.

Rolling friction occurs when an object rolls across some surface. Rather than surfaces interlocking, rolling friction is caused by the constant distortion of surfaces. As it rolls, the surfaces of the object are constantly wrapping and changing. This distortion causes the rolling friction. However, it is much less in magnitude when compared to static or sliding friction.

Which would melt first, germanium with a melting point of 1210 k or gold with a melting point of 1064oc?
iren2701 [21]
<span>Germanium To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15 1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.</span>
